Gore’s no Arctic ice in 5–7 yrs. prediction a bust

It has been over a decade since former Vice President Al Gore predicted that in five to seven years, there would be no ice in the Arctic because of global warming, but ice still covers the polar region 10 years later.

Before a German audience on December 13, 2008, the self-proclaimed climate change expert unleashed his warning before Christmas that the North Pole would be completely devoid of ice – meaning Santa would have to change out his sleigh for a cart.

“This wasn’t the only time Al Gore made his ice-free prediction,” Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft pointed out. “Gore had been predicting [this] dire scenario since 2007. That means that the North Pole should have melted completely five years ago [Thursday].”

Even when evidence was stacking up against the ultra-left environmentalist in 2009, the “junk scientist” re-asserted his prediction referencing computer models to convince gullible audiences that all the ice on the north polar ice cap would be melted away within seven years.

“Some of the models suggest that there is a 75-percent chance that the entire north polar ice cap – during some of the summer months – could be completely ice-free within the next five to seven years,” Gore announced in his video.

But things simply are not heating up as Gore predicted, with many regions actually cooling down.

“This year, it snowed in South Africa,” Hoft noted. “It was a blizzard.”

If Gore was right more than a decade ago, the Earth and its residents would have been experiencing cataclysmic natural disasters over the past two years.

“Within the next 10 years, the world will reach a point of no return [and] a true planetary emergency [due to global warming],” Gore warned while pushing his theory back in January 2006.

Gore’s far-fetched and unsubstantiated claims about catastrophic climate disasters coming the Earth’s way – due to global warming – have made him out to be a false climate change prophet.

“Of course, this turned out to be nothing more than a lunatic conspiracy,” Hoft asserted.

Not even close …

Climate scientists from around the world will testify that for more than a decade, the icecaps in the northern polar region have shown no signs of disappearing.

“However, according to the Danish Meteorological Institute, there has been no trend in Arctic sea ice for the past 12 years,” WND reported.

Despite being proven wrong time and time again, Gore still has the unwavering support of ultra-left climate change junkies who refuse to look at the cold hard facts that man-made pollutants are not triggering a global cataclysmic event that will soon scorch the Earth to the point that it is no longer inhabitable.

“Nevertheless Gore is still widely regarded as the Paul Revere of global warming,” WND noted. “He will host a 24-hour broadcast special on climate change [televised in more than 125 countries] on Dec. 20 [called “24 Hours of Reality: Protect Our Planet, Protect Ourselves], featuring celebrities such as Moby and the Goo Goo Dolls.”

0 for 8 … and counting

Eight dire predictions about the Earth’s imminent destruction at the hands of so-called “man-induced climate change” from Gore’s 2006 Oscar-winning film, An Inconvenient Truth, never came to fruition – as pointed out in January 2016 by TheBlaze:

Sea Levels Are Rising At An Alarming Rate: In his movie, Gore predicted that sea levels could rise six meters (20 feet) with the melting of the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets. Now, we know that the South Pole is gaining more ice than it’s losing. Also, a great amount of the losing is due to underground heat. As for Greenland, its melting cycle doesn’t seem to have changed much. In fact, it seems to be quite regular. And the sea level has been increasing … at a steady level since we started recording them. But if the rising sea level is so catastrophic, why has Gore bought a beachfront mansion?

CO2 Is The Control Knob For Temperature: Like most climate cultists, Al Gore firmly believes that carbon dioxide – what you are exhaling – is what controls temperature. And climate models have constantly reflected that reality. Unfortunately, “it’s the sun, stupid” to paraphrase Bill Clinton. Indeed, satellite data show no increase in temperature for nearly 19 years despite a constant increase in CO2. The Sun, on the other hand, might have a much larger role in the Earth’s climate – so much that some scientists are talking about a significant cooling because the Sun is “quieter.” And of course, climate models have miserably failed – even compared to the (very probably) tampered NASA data.

Hurricane Katrina Was Man-Made: Two years before Gore released his movie, New Orleans had been devastated by Hurricane Katrina. At the time, many people believed that this would be the new norm because of global warming. Now, Gore was partly right: damage to New Orleans was man-made. It was caused by a dire neglect of the levees protecting the city. And their improvement might not be enough to withstand another Katrina. As for Katrina being the new norm, Gore is wrong once more. No F3+ hurricane has landed on U.S. soil since Wilma in October 2005 – the longest such “drought” ever recorded. Have Obama’s actions on climate helped? Or was there no problem in the first place?

Severe Tornadoes Are Increasing: Along with hurricanes, climate cultist logic teaches us that other extreme wind events like tornadoes will be on the rise. However, it’s not blowing very strong. F3+ tornadoes have been declining for over 60 years. Also, the overall number of tornadoes has been unusually low in the past three years. It does have an upwards trend, but that’s because we have better tools to detect them.

Polar Bears Are Dying: The North’s favorite mascot in going extinct according to America’s green pope. Because the ice is getting thinner because of global warming, they can’t reproduce. A recent picture of a sick polar bear also “proved” that point. Of course, this is hot air too. There are more polar bears now than when Al Gore was born. The government of Nunavut, along with Inuit hunters, have also noticed that the polar bear is doing quite well.

The Arctic Is Melting: The polar bears are (supposedly) disappearing because their playground, the Arctic, is melting fast. Gore even predicted its complete melting for 2014. Now that we know it’s not true, here is one more inconvenient truth about the North Pole. It’s gaining ice, and 2015 saw the largest refreezing in over a decade.

The Sahel Is Drying Up: The region south of the Sahara Desert is one of the poorest places on the planet. And because of global warming, it’s getting drier and drier, according to the Gore. This is not true. As shown by satellite images, the Sahel is, in fact, one of the regions that gained the most flora density since satellites exist. All of that is due to the reviled CO2, which acts as a fertilizer.

CO2 Is Pollution: Finally, no climate cultist nonsense would be complete without uttering their favorite lie: CO2 is carbon “pollution.” Therefore, we must fight to control it to protect our children, save the planet, stop kitten massacres, etc. But as shown above, more CO2 is desirable. In fact, agriculture seems to profit greatly from increased carbon “pollution” as shown by yields. But if CO2 does need to be controlled, then liberals might think twice about organic farming.

IT is amazing that the “Pope” of climate is Al Gore. IT is also amazing the number of liberal idiots that would believe the earth is flat because the “Pope” said so.
We are in the New Age of the Inquisition.
Belief in God, Belief in REAL science and Belief that the PLANET is self healing and self correcting, the belief that the SUN and even Volcanoes cause more climate change than man ever could will cause verbal, emotional, financial and political abuse by the “Pope”and his Minions.

He’s as qualified as any other liar to run the Church of Global Warming. It’s definitely a religion, which is why they’re so insistent you BELIEVE in Global Warming. If not you’re a sinner. They have already let us know that if they had their way they would kill all non-believers.NSFW LINK
Jump to 2:00 if you can stomach this video. It’s their true selves.

If you remember, in the 1970’s, the same folks that believe this stuff were predicting global cooling and all the coming disasters due to freezing temperatures and growing glaciers.

There was a time (BC) when the Sahara Desert was semi-arid and able to grow some crops, long before there was enough people to cause it to become the Desert that exists today. Over the course of history, the climate around the world has changed and probably will continue changing, regardless of the Co2 exhaled by the mammals inhabiting it.

In total, Co2 only makes up approximately 3% of our atmosphere. As far as I know, it’s always been and still is 3%. To my thinking, increasing 3% by a couple hundredths is basically a rounding error. Though I’m not a scientist, I do have a brain. Fluctuations in the energy given off the sun are probably the more likely culprit.

Overpopulation is definitely a problem for the environment, but Co2 causing changes to the Universe is a stretch.

Gore is, and always was an idiot…though he’s managed to make a prosperous life for himself being a shill on the issue.

I remember seeing all the apocalyptic headlines “NEW ice age coming”..
WELL, it still hasn’t arived.

Another Democrat ex politician making millions off of peddling false information to schools and news media. Does not know squat about the planet and all of God’s creation. If he did, would not make these remarks which show stupidity.

Gore continues to fly via private jets all over the world, use more fossil fuels to illuminate his estate than twenty normal home owners, and collect millions a month on sale of carbon credits to gullible leftist run corporations. As a leftist, he can lie and still win an Academy and can live like a king while wanting others to live like paupers.

Here’s a prediction. Based on the historical trend, there is an expected 0% chance of anything they predict being right. This is a safe bet. They don’t even have a “Let’s get real” card left in the deck to play. Their strategy relies on telling bigger and bigger lies. The truth is boring. The lies are terrifying.

In a way, they’re actually psychological terrorists. Their goal is to terrify you. How else can you spin that?

Doe-eyed Global Warming followers keep naively believing that whatever latest lie they offer must be the truth this time. Much like any other type of Lib, they have turned off their BS filters. They can’t think critically. They can only repeat the lies like an NPC. There was no human thought between the time of them hearing the lie and the time of them repeating the lie.

Anyone with a functioning brain knows Global Warming is fake. I’ve argued with them for decades now. They’re not capable of learning.

I don’t understand why anyone would even have an article about something like this. It is just as stupid as Gore was and is today. I didn’t read it but just the headline is enough to have me question your sanity.

Global warming is a type of new age religion that requires its adherents to suspend reason in favor of blind obedience to Pope Al Gore’s Five Commandments:

1) Thou shall regard CO2 as thy mortal enemy.

2) Thou shall spread unfounded alarm about climate change to the inhabitants of all nations.

3) Thou shall not worship the false gods of scientific research findings and computer models that deny global warming.

4) Thou shall not covet the carbon credits of a fellow believer.

5) Thou shall not commit to reducing thy carbon footprint but demand that others must do so.

Those worshipers who fail to observe these Commandments may be excommunicated and forced to spend the remainder of their mortal existence being tormented by unbelievers who provide scientific proof that global warming is an imaginary crisis that does not threaten the existence of humanity.

There you go again with pesky facts, don’t you understand you need to have blind faith in your global warming messiah. Fill the collection plate in the church of Al and he will conquer the evil carbon spewing hoards.

You have to remember, Mr Tree still thinks he won in 2000, BarryCare is the law of the land and the Hunchback of Chappaqua lost in 2016 because of the Russians. Look, all Dems think they are born to rule, even when they lose. This goes back to POTUS Peanut, Mondull, Beetle Bailey, Dukakus, AlGore, Lurch and the Rodham-Clinton gal.

Algore is not only the biggest airbag in politics. He knows he is peddling bulls–t. It’s all about enriching the elite who are connected to the carbon tax scam. This kind of religious cult has its supporters (those gullible simpletons not part of the power elite above) actually believing their own propaganda while paying no attention to evidence to the contrary or simple logic

Al Gore is a SHAMELESS charlatan and con man whose “concern” about global warming is pretty much limited to how much money and/or political power he can wring from it, before it is obvious that his predictions–and indeed the ENTIRE “global warming” scam is just THAT–a SCAM designed to BANKRUPT Western countries and HERD them into a world government NWO collective.

He’s milked his alarmist, slickly produced production Inconvenient BS to the tune of having a current net worth north of $350 million dollars!! That’s even better than the Clintons have done. He’s used this alarmist hoax and political influence to fill his coffers and leave an even bigger carbon footprint as he laughs all the way to the bank. Meanwhile he has a ship of fools going along for the ride, screaming in terror that they are about to fall off the edge of the world if something isn’t done. Of course we should strive to reduce pollution and clean our oceans but how can one take libtards seriously when they act like a spastic mongoloids in heat and won’t listen to logic and reason?

I will attest to the fact that I have relatives and acquaintances that are so brainwashed over this global warming that to even attempt a logical conversation inevitably leads to verbal altercations and if I wanted to push it even further, I’m sure I would be rolling around on the floor wrestling over the matter LOL!! I try and tell them that global warming is only half the issue but they are brainwashed to the point where they feel that it is the entire issue and the US and US alone is the greatest perpetrator of pollution while in fact since we’ve pulled out of the Paris Climate Accords (PCA), the US has reduced CO2 emmissions by 12% without following any of the punitive measures imposed by the PCA. Other countries that claim they’re part of it are only part of it in name alone and not practice. The other side of climate change debate besides global warming is global cooling and by all indications many leading climatologists have stated that we have entered a period that can be described as a mini ice age. What affects climate change here on earth far more than CO2 emmissions, which we all emit with every breath we take, are the number of sun spots on our sun. This past September NASA scientist Dr. Tony Phillips has warned that the world is on the brink of a “mini ice age” due to an extreme lack of sunspots currently present. “The sun is entering one of the deepest Solar Minima of the Space Age”.

Gore knows very little and as time goes by he knows even less. He is the ultimate “Chicken Little” squacking himself hoarse as he runs franticly in circles screaming “the sky is falling” and “the earth is warming.” Thankfully, no one with an IQ greater than their shoe size is paying attention to his pathetic rants but, sadly, the liberals (including the ‘main street’ media) continue to hang on every delerious word he utters.

"Words have specific meanings. Electrons are never "generated", not by a steam powered turbine, or a water powered turbine or a wind powered turbine! Believing so indicates a profound ignorance of the details of physics. Electrons exist everywhere in the environment. They can be "separated". by investing some kind of work. The work done on an electric charge..."Comment by 4drphil
